Wood

If you're looking for a restaurant with a very creative and delicious menu, this is the place to visit. The appetizers alone will have your taste buds jumping. The corn dumplings are simple yet so tasty. The watermelon salad with all its complexities of flavors and the not so ordinary caesar salad are definitely my favorites. Admittedly, I came here to try the handmade pasta, and they did not disappoint. However, I couldn't help myself from stealing a few bites of my date's prime filet of beef. It was so tender and flavorful. Chef Devin and his team are excellent. I can't wait to return to try to even more of their menu.

Came here on a Friday night out and were able to get a table promptly even though we were 30 minutes early for our reservation. Staff was prompt and kind especially when there was a miscommunication about which dish we got. We ordered the heirloom tomatoes and burrata and the steak tartare, but also received the heirloom toast. All three were delicious including the toast which isn’t something I’d have ordered but was amazing (and comped after the miscommunication was discovered)! We then had the 3.0 burger and the rigatoni ragu which were out of the world! Oh and the presentation of the tomato and burrata was exquisite 10/10. Mateo was a great server and the support staff always made sure we had the right plates etc at the right time and kept the table orderly. Great jobs all around

Wood is an excellent restaurant with semi-fine dining at reasonable prices. My partner and I started our meal with duck liver toast (excellent flavors but a bit too salty) and a sunset cocktail (loved it!). My partner got the pasta primavera and I got the double pork plate. The pasta was good with excellent tomato flavors, but felt a bit small and didn't have any "centerpiece" to the meal. The pork had perfectly seasoned loin and sausage, saucy couscous, and amazingly crisped spinach. It was a better value for money and is truly perfect in my book, so I would definitely order it again. For dinner, we got the ice-cream sundae and sorbet. The ice cream have a tiny bit of freezer burn but was otherwise excellent. The sorbet was a bit simplistic but solid. Expect to spend $30-70 per person before tip; this meal for two was $102. Our server was slightly inexperienced, but was still knowledgeable and attentive. The space gets darker as you sit further in the back, and there's a loud buzz of conversation. The patio is more popular for reservations, and is quieter.

It's hard to call this place a hidden gem as they have been around for years, but it still feels that way. The current chef has really come into his own. The pasta dishes are exceptional and alone worthy of a visit, while his seasonal playfulness with the rest of the menu is always creative and carefully curated. All pasta is handmade, they butcher their own meat and it shows in the chefs abilities to create sausages, chops and steaks that could stand alone but are almost always part of a more elaborate plan. The cocktails are solid and the staff is always attentive. I'm very grateful for this "neighborhood" joint, but Wood deserves to be a destination. The only area for improvement is the wine list, but everything else is so great we just drink cocktails and smile. We are already planning our next visit and dreaming of that damn pasta. Pictures is a take on saltimbocca with a rich polenta and a mille-feuille for dessert.

Delightful Evening with great food and staff. Restaurants right now are struggling with finding enough staff. So, it's incredibly refreshing to go to a restaurant that is not only fully staffed, but staffed with a friendly, knowledgeable and efficient staff. Wood was great last night. And, the chef has created an innovative menu was delicious. Each dish had a surprising twist and a flavor profile that was well balanced. We had the Island Hopper Cocktail, Curried Pumpkin Soup, Wood Grilled Ora King Salmon, Duck L'orange, Crispy Fried Slagel Farm Chicken Leg & Thigh, and the Tropical Profiterole for dessert. All were very good. The restaurant is large with two rooms separated by the large bar. There was a lot of energy and the noise level can occasionally peak. But, that also speaks to the energy of the place, which I really enjoyed.

We go to Wood often because the food is imaginative, the drinks delicious, the staff are lovely, and the atmosphere is fun and festive. But this time I was thrilled by the new hand rolled mushroom pasta with beautifully roasted escargot! No rubbery snails here! The duck breast with forbidden rice was fantastic, and the watermelon salad perfectly refreshing! Ooh and the espresso martini is really the best I’ve had! See you soon, Wood, you darling gem!
